Commissions – R A C H E L W O L F E

Ongoing fiber art projects and commissions. The fibers are sourced from shops in Norway. A wool/acrylic blend is often knitted with Alpaca and/or silk/mohair threads. The fibers used are naturally anti-microbial and can be aired-out, spot or dry-cleaned.

Denison Borealis Blanket, 2018, dip-dye alpaca, wool bland.

Delicious and soft wool plaid, which can warm even on the coldest days and it does not scratch.

I use it both as a blanket, bedspread and plaid and since wool is unique in being able to insulate against both heat and cold, it is in use all year round. Wool is nature’s own choice of clothes, and therefore also my choice. -John Wagner, Denmark

The knitted scarf we received was crafted of fibers balanced just right together. Not just the colors but the combinations of material working in harmony and creating a piece that is timeless!

Glad to know you have been working more with the knitted pieces. It seems to me different types of materials will have a different energy to them even and I don’t think many people get that like you do. I like to think about how the very small things in life such as a wool thread or microbes inside and outside us all are such valuable neighbours. It seems many times we think that only certain aspects of our mind or statuses are what matters to one another, but there is so much that makes us each up and weaves together. In fact so much more than we likely know about our own being let alone each other. Life is a precious and good thing and what an opportunity we have each day we wake up.

Wagner Vein Blanket, 2017, two-colour wool. Purchased by an artist & collector.

Keeping warm. The relationship between the mind and the body can be most directly understood by experience. As feeling and sensation are subjective, individual territory, the Vein Blanket uses colours to visualise pathways in which circulation travels around the body. The weight of this blanket makes carrying and transport something considered, to not take lightly. As the body and its contents and discontents worth weighing. The warmth of this blanket, producing a by-the-fire experience in the frigid Norwegian winters.

Yun Bundle, 2016, dip-dyed acrylic, cotton blend baby blanket. Gifted.

Keeping cool. Transitioning from the body into the world marks quite often a change in temperature and a temporary change in temperament. The dyed yarn symbolises the transitioning from one space to another, and is knit in a loose manner to allow air to circulate freely when wrapped around the body. The blanket was made for a friend in the early stages of second gestation. The blanket was made to be a shared item between the siblings, to keep cool and also protected in the humid Korean summers.

Gottardo Florence Mohair, 2016, single coloured mohair. Gifted.

A mother and her daughter will share so much. This wrap was made to function both as blanket, as scarf, shawl, and represent the bond between a mother and daughter.

First fibers materialise dreams and psyche-textures.
